"Daddy Played Piano; Played it Very Well..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

...Ah. I remember. I had a rant. Ought I still subject everyone to this rant? Can it be all that important if I've forgotten it 'til now?

Alas.

If I see another bloody Diana Wynne Jones book with "if you liked Harry Potter, try Diana Wynne Jones!" or similar nonsense written on the cover, I shall scream.

Diana Wynne Jones came years before JKRowling and is still writing, and for God's sake Rowling plagiarised borrowed from her right left and center. I think Diana is a much better writer, and far more interesting. I'm disheartened to see that she's been so horribly upstaged by the person who borrowed from her.

I simply wish she would get the recognition she deserves for being such a great writer, and not be reduced to having 'Waiting for the next Harry Potter book? Pass the time with [insert title here]' stamped on her lovely books.

I hereby apologise to anyone I may offend. *_*

It rocks. I read that when I was eleven, and became totally obsessed with DWJ.
